Tokyo Ramen Tour with Local Expert
★4.8(1,800 verified GetYourGuide reviews)· 3 hours69 travellers viewed this in the last hour
Ramen in Tokyo is not just food; it is a deeply personal craft where chefs spend decades perfecting a single bowl. This tour takes you to three carefully chosen ramen shops, each representing a different regional style. Start with a rich, creamy tonkotsu from a tiny counter shop in Shinjuku where the broth simmers for 18 hours. Move on to a classic shoyu ramen in a retro neighbourhood joint that has not changed its recipe since 1972. Finish with a bold, spicy miso ramen at a shop that regularly has a queue around the block. Your guide is a genuine ramen obsessive who has eaten at over 500 shops across Japan. Between stops, learn about the etiquette (slurping is encouraged), the regional variations, and the art of reading a ticket machine menu. You will leave knowing exactly how to find great ramen on your own for the rest of your trip.
